We had to do it for y'all! In celebration of our 50th episode (not a remarkable feat for a 3 year old podcast but just give us this), we've decided to review Rebecca's WORST RANKED DCOM OF ALL TIME. Except is it maybe the best? Tune in for the Origin Story of the famous Debby Ryan smirk on TikTok and other absolutely wild cinematic moments... seriously guys, how did this get made? Thx for 50 amazing episodes we love our listeners whoever u are 3 Rate us on Apple Podcasts and DM us on IG...

Is it possible that there was one too many Cheetah Girls movies?! After contending this for an hour we decide that the answer is probably yes. Listen anyways for another full ep of Adrienne Bailon stanning! We also discuss Zac Efron's zaddy status, the Zoey 101 reunion and Rebecca's DCOM rankings article that made some people V upset. (Read the article here: https://www.vulture.com/article/best-disney-channel-original-movies-ranked.html and tell em we sent you ;) ) Complain to us about how...

Amigas Cheetahs wuh? After a LONG deep dive into the current state of the Cheetah Girls' IRL friendship woes, we dive right into the long-awaited sequel that might just be better than the original! It's because it includes Marisol in the cast, and tbh this episode is just a Marisol appreciation podcast. And we love the Cheetah Boys so much. Also: can you read sheet music and immediately know what a song will sound like? Is your name Aquanetta? If you answered yes to any of these questions,...

Break glass in case of emergency! We're here to bless your quarantines with the highly anticipated Cheetah Girls. It's so important that Rebecca had to phone in! If there was one word to describe this movie, it would be "iconique". If there were three, it would be "dog in hole". Don't remember that part? Get ready to relive your dreams (the Cheetah Girls part) and your nightmares (the Global Get Down part). Rawr! If you're a real cool cat or kitten, follow us on Instagram @dcomgroupies or...

Happy quarantining! As a gift from us to you, after two months of radio silence we are (after much anticipation) releasing an episode we recorded a month ago that will give you anxiety! We did Hayley Kiyoko. You know we had to do Kaley Cuoco. Did you know she was in a 2000's movie about bowling and swing dance? Also included: a 20 min conversation between Jackie and Rebecca trying to figure out if the movie was filmed at their high school (it wasn't). And a 10 minute discussion about if...

This movie is so bad but you have to listen to this ep because Coach Bolton sent Jackie a personal message!!!!! Besides that, sorry to disappoint but this is the 2018 remake of Freaky Friday and it is BAD. Lindsay Lohan is not in it. But Coach Bolton!! You'll love this ep!

Ho Ho Ho y'all! We're back with a (non-holiday, just holiday-adjacent) ep full of Pure Lalaine Content™ to get you through your break. You Wish! is a movie that no one wished for, since we've had maybe 5 of these DCOM's with essentially the same premise. But it stars the one-named icon Lalaine so we're thrilled!!! We also discuss our experience catching up on Disney+, Lizzie McGuire reboot goss, and our very thorough hot takes on Toronto Grocery Stores. Bet you wished for that! Follow your...

Because we haven't talked about Aly and AJ enough on this podcast, we thought we would bring yet another Aly Michalka project to light - Now You See It...! We kind of wish we *hadn't* seen it, but that's okay since this movie has everything a 2005 tween could want: a teen working an adult profession, teen boys with puka shell necklaces, layered tanks, and Creationism! Do ~you~ believe in magic? It's real as can be on our Instagram @dcomgroupies!

“The one where Jackie and Rebecca repeatedly dunk on a little old man” That’s what we’d call this episode if we were Friends. But we’re not. We’re just friends! Friends who host a podcast about Disney Channel Original Movies. And this week? We’re getting ooky and we’re certainly getting spooky with a Halloween pick that isn’t Halloweentown: Phantom of the Megaplex. This one has all the makings of a good DCOM: shot in Toronto, about the magic of movies, sassy younger siblings, late 90s/early...

Poets. Geniuses. Visionaries. All of these words have been used to describe Disney Channel Original Groupies, but that’s not the whole story. Follow us down a high school basement elevator on a journey of 2011 scene kid haircuts, cheap Darbus rip-offs, and hidden post credit bonus features while we stand up for what’s right and speak the truth about what really matters: vending machines. That’s right, we’re looking at Lemonade Mouth, so get ready to bask in Hayley Kiyoko’s innate star power...

As 25 year old women who talk about children's movies for hobby, we can relate to the 40 year old women who play 14 year olds in Double Teamed! Featuring an actress named Teal, unhealthy father-daughter relationships, and sports content you don't care about, Double Teamed is the movie you remember liking, but you're not sure why. Sports are everywhere! Let us have the Disney Channel without sports content! Enough sports!!!!!! We also chat Lizzie McGuire and Reboot Culture, more shenanigans...

Our last pre-recorded ep until we get back into the PRESSIN' Disney News. A Disney Channel Premiere film that has: 1) no clear moral 2) sechuality 3) Katherine Heigl 4) magic = A GREAT EPISODE FOR US TO RECORD but not a great movie to watch so just listen to this ep and do not watch the actual film! Want to know if your favourite DCOM's aged well, even a little bit, as this one surely did not? Send us your requests at [email protected]!

BONJOURNO! (Italian for "we back yo!") Our hiatus is o-ver and we came back just in time to discuss how our hiatus couldn't have come at a worse time for Disney news since SO much has happened. Oopsie! We catch up on what's been going on in our lives and then discuss Stuck in the Suburbs, one of the very finest Disney DCOM's the world has been sleeping on. It's just Taran Killam as a Bieber-esque popstar and we're attracted????? Sing us your truths (both the pop version and the acoustic...

"Who says we have to let it go?" is kiiiiiiiiiind of the motto for our entire enterprise of two adult women talking about DCOMs, so this capper to our HSM saga is major. It's also our only episode that's about a Real Actual In Movie Theatres Movie, so you know the wait is WORTH IT. We're back with the gang one last time - Zefron, Vanessa, and....uh... Rocketman.

What time is it?! Time for another series of songs insinuating an incestuous brother-sister duo, Ryan and Sharpay! We're reviewing the sequel to The Holy HSM Trilogy that is supes weird. Mostly because it doesn't have enough Darbus, but also a bit because it continues to portray Albuquerque as a country club hot spot. We also discuss the serious investigation into Corbin Bleu's many Wikipedia pages, where he is among the ranks of Jesus, Barack Obama and Elvis. We didn't see a problem with...

As two grown women who talk into microphones about Disney Channel for fun, we invented "stick to the stuff you know." And this week? We're about to pop, lock, break, and jam as we go back to the start (of something new/Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron's careers) with High School Musical. Bop bop bop, bop to this pod as we marvel at Ashley Tisdale's old face (?), Drew Seely (?), twincest (?), and Ryan's illiteracy (?). Get cha head in the inbox (sorry) and email us, [email protected].

2018 is over, we're outta the woods/in the clear, but we're immediately hopping back in Sexy 2019 Phil of the Future's time machine for a trip to 1996 B.D.E. (Before DCOM Era....#thankunext) to look at our first Disney Premiere joint, Susie Q. With more awkward nudity than your average DCOM joint, but just the usual amount of sassy siblings, dead parents, and basketball tournaments, Susie's a doozy! Don't ghost us!

Picture this: a cute made for TV Christmas movie, but it's Not Good! We're takin' it back to the year 2000 when Santa had a summer home in LA that he lived in (not in the summer) and when Brenda Song was not given the chance she deserved to shine! How did Disney, the maker of all great TV movies mess up the literal easiest genre of TV movie out there? Not fierce!

Happy Hanukkah! (Chappy Chanukah?) This week, we’re putting the latkes in Lakers (oy…that one’s rough) with the Disney holiday classic, Full Court Miracle! This Max Keeble vehicle has it all, from dribbles to dreidels. Will Jackie and Rebecca learn the true reason for the season? Will Frankie Muniz’s house ever recover from his tragic cat-accident?

Not since Hilary and Christy has there been a DCOM pairing as powerful as (Bitch I’m) Bella Thorne and Zendaya, of Meechee fame, starring in the 2012 triptych FRENEMIES, a movie so off-the-mark it seems like it was written by someone who’s never??? had???? a friend?????????

Being normal is VASTLY overrated....but is this Halloween classic? This week, the Disney Channel Original Groupies take a trip to Halloweentown, where the only thing scarier than the monsters is how low their costume budget seemed to be! We cover it all from Debbie Reynolds appreciation to some spoooooky Harry Potter parallels, and as always, we're much more Bubble Bubble than Toil and Trouble Follow us on Twitter, @DCOMGroupies!
